All our surveys and sampling techniques for suspect Asbestos Containing Materials are carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive guidance document ‘HSG264’ and all samples obtained are sent to an independent, accredited laboratory for analysis.

For commercial clients we provide a full range of Asbestos Management services, from a free initial discussion through to a fully managed system. We also offer asbestos awareness training courses. So, if you are initially unsure what service you may require then please do contact us as we are always happy to provide preliminary advice without charge or obligation.

At Nass, we have absolutely no links with any removal companies whatsoever. This policy ensures that we will always remain truly independent in the advice we give. When recommending removal, we will direct the client to asbestos removal companies local to them and approved by the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (arca.org.uk). There is a geographical list of such companies on the ARCA website
